Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh fruit (sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, etc.)
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, optional for dusting
Directions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined. - Make the Batter:
Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy. - Pour and Top:
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle fresh fruit over the top. - Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. - Serve:
Let cool slightly, slice into squares, and serve with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
